Chunman Palace

Chapter 65 Success or Failure
The deep ice is three feet thick, and plain snow covers Xuanming City.Yushu Qionghua is in full bloom, and the air is filled with quiet air-conditioning. Under this brilliant white, even the sky is overshadowed. The entire Xuanming City is enveloped by this whiteness and tranquility.

In Guanju Palace, Ashina slowly woke up and turned around, and saw several figures beside the bed came into view, the palace lady Lu'er hurriedly put down the medicine, and said happily: "Master is awake! Master is awake!"

Xuan Yin held Ashina Shan's hand lightly, and looked at him softly.

"Your majesty... the ministers and concubines are ashamed to see the sky." Ashina covered her face and wept, turning her head to one side.

Lu'er wiped away her tears, and said: "Your Majesty, our master misses you so much that he is sick with worry! Last night our master was suffering from heart palpitations, no matter what, we must see the Emperor!" She paused, and wiped it off with a handkerchief. With a mottled face from crying, he continued to mourn: "But our master's current status, how can we meet the emperor, the slaves say that the emperor has rested at the concubine Ling's place, but who knows that our master ran to the place regardless of the wind and snow. Spiritual Heart Palace. Your Majesty, our Lord really cares about you!"

"These days I can't see the emperor, I feel that life is always muddled, now I can finally see the emperor, I feel that all the sorrows have disappeared." Ashina Shan stretched out his other hand to grab Xuan Yin's palm, But he didn't want to touch the wound and make him moan in pain.

"I still have injuries on my body, so I'm not honest." Xuan Yin carefully wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Ashina wanted to speak and shed tears first: "It doesn't matter how the concubine hurts, as long as I can be with the emperor, I am willing to die!"

Xuan Yin sighed: "What do you say now, rest well, don't affect the wound."

Ashinashan stepped forward and hugged Xuan Yin, Xuan Yin was shocked, afraid of touching his wound, he did not dare to move rashly, so he endured his panic and softly comforted him: "Lie down quickly, the imperial doctor said that you have to rest in peace and not get up, your hurt…!"

Ashina Shan's eyes were red, and he gasped and said: "The pain of the sword piercing the flesh, how can it be heartache! My concubine was able to block the assassin for the emperor last night, so I feel that I have no regrets in this life. I thought it would be good to go here, but my minister The concubine is suddenly very scared, afraid that she will never see the emperor again! The concubine does not want to die, and wants to stay with the emperor for even one more moment."

His words were sincere, and Xuan Yin couldn't help feeling sore, he gently supported Ashina Shan's shoulder, and looked at Ashina Shan's wound with some unbearable pain, now it was soaked in blood, and a red glow appeared again.

"Go and call the imperial physician!"

Because he was worried about Ashina Shan's health, Xuan Yin asked Imperial Physician Liu to wait temporarily in the East Hall of Guanju Palace, so he arrived in time, and after careful pulse examination for Concubine Min, he prescribed some blood-strengthening medicine, which was replaced on time. Yes, but avoid moving your body.

Only then did Xuan Yin heave a sigh of relief, and said with concern in his eyes: "It's really nonsense, why don't you care about your own body."

Ashina smiled softly, with lingering eyes: "The concubine really misses the emperor, the hug just now, even if the concubine died of heartache because of it, she is willing to die! The emperor allows the concubine to be self-willed this time, and will never dare again in the future."

Xuan Yin shook his head helplessly, called Li Qiao, and said, "Ashina Shan has done a great job in rescuing him, so he is specially restored as Concubine Min. After she recovers, she will move back to the main hall of Guanju Palace."

Concubine Min couldn't hide her joy, her eyes were even moved to tears, her voice trembled slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine!"

Xuan Yin's eyes were complicated, love, distress, sorrow, and entanglement mixed together, and finally turned into a sigh. He said softly: "Take care of your body with peace of mind, and I will come to see you again." Then he told Lu'er: " Take care of your master."

Lu'er saluted with a smile: "The servant will take good care of the master and empress."

After Xuan Yin left, Lu'er congratulated Concubine Min: "My servant congratulates the lord, and congratulates the lord for repeating the glory!"

Concubine Min frowned tightly, and took a deep breath: "Okay, don't talk flattery, now that I'm reassuming the imperial concubine position, some people in the palace might not be able to sit still? Be careful and careful, you don't need to use anything except the things sent by the emperor."

"What about the clothes and supplements from the inner court?"

"Put it away, don't use it all."

"Your servant understands." Lu'er brought a bowl of yellow-brown soup medicine, Yingying stood beside the person and said, "Your Majesty, drink some medicine. The imperial doctor said that fortunately the wound is not deep, but you need to use some medicine internally, otherwise it will be very easy to attack. You should also avoid spicy, sweet and salty things at ordinary times.”

Concubine Min smelled a strong bitter smell from a distance, she was very disgusted, she suppressed a few sips and couldn't help coughing, she refused to drink any more.

Lu'er comforted her and said: "My maidservant knows that it's difficult for my mother to take medicine now, but she needs to take the medicine on time to recover. For the time being, my mother bears with it. It's right to heal this wound and not leave any scars?"

"I have already gone to block the sword for the emperor, so why not leave a scar? A scar is worth the emperor's eternal love and affection." Concubine Min smiled sweetly and said, "It's really thanks to her." , if this palace didn't get the news last night, I'm afraid it would have given that bastard Lingbi an advantage."

Lu'er took the medicine bowl and echoed: "The empress has a clever plan. They thought that the empress was in a state of depression, but they didn't expect that there were many eyeliners in the palace. The empress had already discovered the matter of the concubine Ling, but the empress was so kind that she let her go. Jumping for so long."

"Ling Concubine is the defeated under Ben Gong, Ben Gong didn't bother to talk to her at first, who knows that she has made progress and has been favored for so long after Ben Gong, and Ben Gong should have brought her down early." Concubine Min sneered.

"Yes, but it seems that someone has already taken care of Ling Concubine for the empress. She has misbehavior, and now that she is being held accountable, she is probably not far from death."

Concubine Min said with satisfaction: "The emperor is the emperor of the world, but there are some people in this harem who would rather make do with a small guard and betray the emperor. If they want to die like this, even if they are cut up by five horses, it is not enough."

Lu'er showed joy on her face and said: "Your Majesty is very true, who in this harem can love the Emperor more than you? The Emperor must only know about your Majesty's feelings for the Emperor." She paused for a moment, and asked cautiously like a test : "Your Majesty, taking advantage of the emperor's sympathy and guilt towards you, should you stop the medicine?"

Concubine Min was silent for a long time before she said: "...do you think the emperor can accept me?"

Lu'er nodded again and again, affirming: "It must be! Your Majesty has such deep affection for the Emperor, how could the Emperor not know? Last night, the Emperor guarded your Majesty for a whole night, and said that if your Majesty wakes up, she will love you even more than before! The servant girl looked at you. , It really comes from the heart and is deeply touching.”

Concubine Min suddenly laughed and said: "It is said that the emperor is not joking, the emperor's words are half-true." She wept bitterly, looked up, and said: "Wait a little longer, foreign blood, it is not easy for the emperor to accept it." Woolen cloth?"

After five days.

In the Lingxin Palace, Ling Concubine lay on the bed in a daze, her eyes were as dead as dust, her body was slender, and she looked extremely thin, like a dead tree growing out of a field of flowers, dying.

She got up suddenly, walked slowly to the mirror, and took a selfie in front of the mirror.

Lifting her eyes, she caught a glimpse of her collarbone, and several rows of abrupt bones lay in front of her eyes. She opened her mouth in horror and remained silent for a long while.He still didn't believe it, he raised his left arm, and the scarlet jade bracelet almost reached his elbow. He didn't think about eating these days, but he was so weak, and he didn't know if he had been poisoned by the medicine again. Take it orally, it can penetrate into the body through the skin texture.

She lived on the couch for a long time, and hadn't looked at herself properly for a long time.Looking at it now, it looks like a weeping autumn wind trembling withered flowers on the branches, with a broken body, haggard face, pale and haggard skin, like a white jade covered with dust, without luster and cleanliness.

While trembling in her heart, there was a sound of slow footsteps outside the door. This sound came to her, like a reminder to her death, causing her back to shiver, and she almost bounced away from the makeup mirror, and sat back on the couch.

"Sister Lingbi, why don't you look like this for a few days, it really hurts my sister." Chang Xiuru's eyes were full of ridicule, and she pressed on Lingbi step by step.

Ling concubine was so frightened that she shrank back to the bottom of the wall, pulled out a hairpin and pointed at the human tremblingly: "Don't come here! It's not so easy for you to harm me! Come, come!"

Chang Xiuru had doubts in her eyes, looked left and right, then pointed to herself and smiled: "Human? Sister Lingpin wants someone, and my sister is here, waiting for Sister Lingpin's order at any time. What does Sister Lingpin want to order? Sister Just help my sister arrange it!"

Ling concubine immediately understood that Chang Xiuru had sent away all the Dougong people in the Spiritual Palace, her hand holding the hairpin couldn't help trembling, and she said angrily: "I order you to get out of the Lingxin Palace as the master of the Spiritual Palace." Xin Gong, get out of here non-stop! Get out!"

"Break up just after meeting, isn't my sister too unkind?" Chang Xiuru walked up to the person without any hesitation, gently pinched the tail of the hairpin, and pulled it out of Lingbi's hand.

Ling concubine looked at the man with her eyes wide open, and gasped and shouted angrily: "What on earth do you want to do? Why are you still looking for me, go out! Do you hear me when you go out! Don't disturb me, I order you! I order you Get out!" She stretched out her hand and slapped forward indiscriminately, but Chang Xiuru dodged sideways, nailing her foot to the edge of the bed.

Chang Xiuru looked at people with disgust, and said sarcastically: "I thought that sister Lingbi knew the current affairs, but she didn't want to lose her mind and go crazy. Now that she is in such a ghostly state, she still refuses to submit? Why, does my sister think that you are so lingering?" If the emperor is alive, he will not suspect you and blame you? Your lover is already dead!"

Ling Bin could hardly breathe, moaned in pain, waved her hand feebly but failed, now she was on the verge of despair, she couldn't think of anything.

Seeing people like this, Chang Xiuru couldn't bear to squat down to wipe the clothes for people, and said gently: "Sister, you have to understand that the opportunity has been given to you, but you didn't seize the opportunity! Who told you to make arrangements for yourself, and put The chance was given to Concubine Min? Now you are going to a dead end, it's too late to say anything."

Lingbi pushed the man away violently, shook her head frantically, and said in tears, "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! There is still a chance, as long as, as long as I buy another guard, let me block the sword for the emperor, The emperor will take pity on me, will take pity on me!"

Seeing people talking about dreams, Chang Xiuru grabbed the person's shoulders and said directly: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think that apart from your good friend, who would risk killing the nine clans to assassinate the emperor for you? , if there is no eldest princess to clear the palace people, he can come in so smoothly? Now the eldest princess is not willing to help you anymore."

Lingbi sniffed, looked straight at the person with wide eyes, and begged: "Sister, help me again! Please help me beg the eldest princess again, I beg you! I beg you Already!" Then he knelt down and kowtowed a few times, completely ignoring his manners.

Chang Xiuru let out a long breath, stretched out her hand to get rid of the pull, "Sister Lingpin, don't you understand? Winners and losers, it's always been like this. Now it's you who didn't seize the opportunity, not me and the eldest princess. You! Elder sister should kill herself as soon as possible, so she can go decently." She took out a porcelain bottle from her hand, and stuffed it firmly into Lingbi's hand.

Lingbi suddenly sneered, stared viciously at Chang Xiuru, stretched out her finger, and said: "Win the king and lose the bandit? Heh... I think you are making trouble, and everyone pushes the wall down?! The emperor didn't punish me, it was you, it was you!" You and the eldest princess want to force me to death! Don't even think about it, you are dreaming! I will live forever and trample you under my feet."

"My eldest princess and I harmed you? My sister is really unsullied out of mud. Your lotus flower is so pure and beautiful! Did the eldest princess and I throw the mud on my sister, or did my sister volunteer to meet her?" After finishing speaking, Chang Xiuru couldn't help covering her lips and smiling.

Lingpin was startled, then laughed loudly, her voice was harsh and noisy, which made Chang Xiuru couldn't help covering her ears with her hands.

Tired of laughing, she suddenly smiled in relief, raised her head and drank the contents of the bottle, her eyes seemed to have a strange red light, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lonely in the deep palace...Sister Chang...I'm afraid it won't be long... You...you will follow in my footsteps...ha..."

Chang Xiuru stood up expressionlessly, looked at the person coldly, and said, "Sister Lingbi, don't talk nonsense anymore, my younger sister understands these four words better than my older sister."

Lingbi wanted to open her mouth to ridicule, but she just "babbled" for a long while, unable to utter a word. Not only that, her body also became weak and slippery, and she could only stare desperately at her red, moist eyes full of hatred. Looking at Chang Xiuru.

Chang Xiuru smiled, and her red lips slightly parted: "I'm afraid my sister can't talk, right? Don't worry, this medicine will only make my sister gradually weaken and die, and there will be no trace of it. My sister congratulates my sister, you can be decent, Go innocently." Then, she picked up the porcelain vase from the ground, bowed slightly to Concubine Ling, and walked away.

Outside the Lingxin Palace, Princess Huirui has been waiting for a long time.

The eldest princess asked calmly: "How is things going? Has Concubine Ling taken that bottle of medicine?"

"Princess, don't worry, Concubine Ling has already drank all the medicine, this is the medicine bottle." Chang Xiuru handed over the bottle after speaking.

The eldest princess glanced at it, regained her gaze and said flatly: "You can sell this kind of thing yourself, don't give it to me." Then she turned and left.

Chang Xiuru followed immediately.

She tentatively said: "Actually, Lingbi doesn't need to clean up so early, she really can't pose any threat..."

Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess said coldly: "She deserves to die for messing up the palace. Besides, she already knows your plan but it is difficult to achieve it. The night is long and the dream is full, so she must not stay."

She stopped talking and followed silently, another thought came to her mind.
